Watts
Reggie - you push the minds to it's limits and lead us to find humor in everything silly, mundane, complicated and downright stupid! Great job at TEDx - would love to see you at my office!
My favorite thing about Reggie Watts is that he does things that are done deliberately, and can seem random, and he cane do things randomly that can seem deliberate. quite cool.
Why do I get the impression that the audience didn't really know how to react? Wouldn't it have been grand to see their faces of incredulity :-) . . . Who would of thought that Reggie would performing before TED - Respect Reggie - respect!
Reggie Watts == Reggie Watts Reggie Watts =/= Zach Gandalfakis Reggie Watts =/= Bobby McFerrin Reggie Watts=/= DubStep, Beardyman, or the Gorillaz (all of whom, by the way, are brilliant in their own right) . . . Reggie Watts =/= Pre-fab TopPopChart DoublePlatinum MegaHits of the Week Reggie Watts =/= genre, category, or pigeonhole Reggie Watts is incomparable to anyone or anything else you'll ever experience. Long live Reggie Watts.
You say he's incomparable? You just listed a bunch of people that are similar in this or that aspect... Each and all of those acts are similar in this or that aspect to him, but are still their own act. But yeah, he's cool like them. A bit more on topic: your unintentionally meaningless praise of him sort'f shows how awesome his stream of consciousness is.
If it were meaningless, no meaning could be extracted from it, yet you managed to find the intentional meaning, precisely showing Watts' versatility, when it comes to being creative. I guess you don't get such meaningless concepts like "irony" either, huh?

👺 rataatata
I just discovered him....he's a genius!
Yes he’s really good!

this lecture changed my life.
Brookings just needs to hire him :-P
lol
Damn, this song is just fuckin GOOD, no joke. His voice is amazing.

skilled improvising at which Reggie is one of the best I've ever seen. He inspired me to buy a loop recorder...HECKA FUN!!!
Thank you, AP LANG teacher. You have made me start binging Reggie Watts.
very well put. I totally agree!
GOD DAMN! AWESOME.
Is it just me, or is there a a woman on the balcony at 2:33 making sign-language? o.O
She must be a fucking pro.
that is one hell of a christmas jumper
Reggie is at the end of my rainbow!
Reggie Watts sports another fantastic jumper! How does he do it?!
I found the understanding.
From "Fuck Shit Stack" to this. His talent is shaping up to be a pretty adaptive creature.
I particularly enjoy the bewildered Sign Language correspondent in the mezzanine trying desperately to relay the lack of information Reggie presented.
hah! didn't notice that the first time. 2:33 total respect for that person.
4:52 New Jersey manhandling managing adapter...auto correct hit the nail on the head!
this is what I hear when listening to Steven greer and Russel Brand
Why is no one laughing at the beginning?
i think by =/= he meant not equatable
lmma call bull on that one. And that one. But he's awesome.
The intro sounds like Alan Watts x Reggie Watts lmao.. So genius (and so similar! Seriously, I highly recommend Alan Watts lol..)
FUck shit stack was a huge sarcasm towards the modern music, if some1 is inteligent and funny on this planet.. that is Reggie. :)
This guy gives new meaning to the expression:
TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Don't...don't use that cancerous expression, for your sake.
BathroomTile
>For your sake
Don't you mean everybody's sake?
auto subtitles on this video are.. almost correct
nice shirt!
This dude takes it to a HNL, "Hole Nuva Level"!!!!!!!!!!
...fucking amazing

Lmao he has been to ted many times and pop tech more than that. Reggie is never nervous.
It's funny how the audience were quiet the first few mins.
We're only groups , we're also solitary
I'm goin to have to second that.
Reggie watches is the jester archetype incarnated.
Reggie Watts == Music Incarnate
Speaking in tongues, I think we just witnessed Spirit Baptism. Holy Ghost in the house.
We did hear something, and as soon as my brain quits spinning I hope to figure out what it was.
Reggie for the W... just sayin :)
iam almost 100 on this but alan watts equals reggie watts? MMmmm?
Am I the only one that couldn't enjoy this cause the tempo is off
this is called groove and it is so mhhhhmmmmhmhmyeah muhuh. One of the best pieces of his live impro´s to me. Daaamnnn
It's just polyrhythmic
Yes
Reggae watts IS drugs
How many dudes are in there?
hahaha legend
And at 1.15 the slow audience finally realize it is comedy.
More like from Maktub to this.
Nardwuar vs Reggie Watts!!!!!!!!!
Reggie Watts == Reggie Watts
Reggie Watts =/= Zach Gandalfakis
Reggie Watts =/= Bobby McFerrin
Reggie Watts=/= DubStep, Beardyman, or the Gorillaz

Reggie Watts is incomparable to anyone or anything else you'll ever experience.
Long live Reggie Watts.
I mean't his rhythm was a little off as opposed to his other presentations.
FTP [hXc]
You say he's incomparable?
You just listed a bunch of people that are similar in this or that aspect...
Each and all of those acts are similar in this or that aspect to him, but are still their own act.
But yeah, he's cool like them.
A bit more on topic: your unintentionally meaningless praise of him sort'f shows how awesome his stream of consciousness is.
i actually didn't like how this one turned out; a first and only for reggie w/ me

i think he was trying not to piss himself. but yah way interesting.
Reggie is definitely nervous, you can tell by his rhythm.. I would be nervous speaking at Ted though
da fuck man
batshit crazy
I would be pissed if I was there
Trully mono-mentous.
big muff is better
